'Willenhall, then the world' is the ethos of staff and students alike at this school, with students and teachers not only striving to make a difference in their local community, but also in the wider world.
Headteacher at the school, Mr Tim Marston, said: "At Willenhall, everything we do is rooted in one clear idea, 'Willenhall, then the world. It's more than a motto to us; it's our big dream.
"You can feel that motto in our corridors, in classrooms, and in the way that our staff members talk to the students. Every child is encouraged to believe their world can be bigger than they ever imagined, and we help them see the steps to get there."
